The Hobbit Movie Review
”I am looking for someone to share in an adventure” -Gandalf Dwarfs, Elves, Orcs, Wizards, Dragons. All these filled in The Hobbit, an action packed book. One book, made into 3 exciting movies. The Hobbit An Unexpected Journey, The Hobbit, The Desolation of Smaug, The Hobbit, The Battle of The Five Armies. All directed by the one and only Peter Jackson. The movies shows the theme that J.R.R Tolkien is trying to show in his wonderful novel. Its hard to get back things that you lost.

    Race in The Hobbit Racial difference has had an enormous impact on society for centuries. Race is one way that humans use to define and categorize other people, but the basis of it can be used on creatures with human attributes. One result of race in humanity is harsh judgments towards differences in nationality, drawing a line between cultures. Although the idea of equality for all people is more common now, it can be argued that society is still affected just as much by race now as it was a hundred years ago.
